About Us

Jen Nudd is the heart and hands behind Beacon Hill Candle Company, nestled in the picturesque town of Okotoks, Alberta. Originally from New Brunswick, Jen’s life journey bridges two breathtaking Canadian landscapes: the rugged coastlines of the Maritimes and the rolling foothills of the Rocky Mountains, inspiring the name "Beacon Hill."                                                                                                    

The "Beacon" pays homage to the iconic lighthouses of her coastal roots, a symbol of guidance and hope. Growing up in a family with deep ties to the sea—both of her grandfathers were fishermen—Jen developed a profound appreciation for the ocean’s beauty and its steadfast lights. It also reflects her personal mission to shine as a beacon of faith and love, sharing the light of Jesus in all she does.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

The "Hill" represents her Alberta home in the stunning Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, where she has lived for over 20 years and where Beacon Hill Candle Company was born.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

  For 32 years, Jen has shared her life with her husband, Glen, a pastor, and together, they have been blessed with two wonderful adult children—Jared, who is married to Brook and expecting their first child, and Jamie, who is married to Tom.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Candles have always held a special place in Jen's heart. Certain scents have the power to evoke cherished memories, creating a sense of warmth and joy.  At Beacon Hill Candle Company, each candle is hand-poured with great care using pure soy wax and fine fragrance oils, free from phthalates and parabens.  Jen believes in simple, sensitive sophistication, crafting products that not only enhance your space, but are made with integrity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

For Jen, every candle and room spray is more than a product—it’s a reflection of her love for home, family, and faith, designed to bring warmth and beauty to yours.
